Run business-critical data workloads on-premises while you interact with servers across clouds. See what's new when you build and operate hybrid workloads on Azure with Azure Arc. Check out the highlights of how hybrid development and management across Azure, on-premises, edge and multi-cloud services and infrastructure are enabled through Azure Arc. For most of us, hybrid architecture is now a fact of life. There will always be some combination of on-premises infrastructure, along with edge locations like branch offices or devices running on the edge with IoT. You might also be using services across multiple public clouds. While it can lead to more complexity, hybrid architectures are often needed to achieve compliance, data sovereignty, and to solve for latency. Apoorva Nori, Azure Program Manager at Microsoft, will show you how you can now build your apps and hybrid workloads to run ANYWHERE and get the benefits of Azure services with Azure Arc. Tour newly Arc-enabled services and infrastructure that help you build your own cloud-native apps and workloads to run what you need, where you need it. ► QUICK LINKS: 00:00 Introduction of Hybrid Azure Arc updates 01:08 The basics of Azure Arc 02:18 Updates to integrated toolset for building could-native apps on Kubernetes 03:18 Seamlessly roll out updates to apps without any downtime with Arc-enabled cluster 04:22 Run Azure SQL Managed Instance Business Critical on your hardware 05:57 Updates to Azure control plane ► Link Reference: • Find the latest information on Hybrid Azure Arc updates at: aka.ms/AzureArc • Start a free trial at: aka.ms/ArcJumpstart ► Unfamiliar with Microsoft Mechanics? • As the Microsoft's official video series for IT, you can watch and share valuable content and demos of current and upcoming tech from the people who build it at Microsoft.

Windows Admin Center in Azure? Richard talks to Prasidh Arora about the preview of WAC in Azure - giving admins that familiar Windows Admin Center view of Azure Virtual Machines running Windows Server 2016 or later. Prasidh talks about creating a unified view and admin access to your servers, whether they are running on-premises, in Azure, or even on other cloud infrastructures. Installing Azure Arc on a server makes it available from WAC in Azure. The conversation also digs into the privileges challenges - making sure you have rights on the server for WAC's different capabilities. But with WAC for Azure, we're one step closer to a unified view and control of infrastructure.

Carsten Rachfahl and Andy Syrewicze hosted a webinar focused on Azure Stack HCI and Hybrid Cloud. The webinar covered several aspects regarding Azure Stack HCI, including: What is Azure Stack HCI? Installation Networking and Storage Considerations Example Use-Cases for Azure Stack HCI And more! The other thing the guys discussed was some of the findings from our recent survey on hybrid cloud technologies and adoption. One of the most interesting aspects was the fact that most IT Pros see hybrid cloud as a permanent destination and not necessarily a temporary state. This showed in the amount of questions that were asked during the webinar as well! In fact, we had so many questions that Andy and Carsten wanted to use this podcast to expand on some of the most interesting questions from the webinar! In this episode on Azure Stack HCI How can I get up to speed with Azure Stack HCI while spending little to no money? - 3:30 What are my options for migrating existing workloads to Azure Stack HCI? - 7:17 Can Azure Stack HCI run in a disconnected fashion? - 11:23 Does the $10/Core/Month cost include guest licensing for Windows Server? - 15:15 Am I able to host multiple different customers within the same Azure Stack HCI Cluster? - 21:27 Would you recommend Azure Stack HCI for small business? - 25:27 Is Hyper-V Replica supported with Azure Stack HCI? - 30:52 Is it possible to upgrade a Windows Server Cluster to Azure Stack HCI via cluster rolling updates? - 31:36 Can you mix different versions of Azure Stack HCI in the same cluster? - 33:31 Can you install Azure Stack HCI on uncertified hardware for testing purposes? - 36:12 Watch the on-demand webinar How Azure Stack HCI is forcing changes in your datacenter Resources for Azure Stack HCI Altaro Azure Stack HCI Webinar MSLab Github Repo Free Azure Trial Azure Stack HCI Preview Program Altaro VM Backup with Azure Stack HCI Azure Stack VM Migration Info on MS Docs Azure Stack HCI Catalog
Welcome to the second of a two-part series on the management and tooling ecosystem for Hyper-V, for on-prem and hybrid cloud. In part one, our host Andy Syrewicze and guest Eric Siron discussed the traditional on-prem Hyper-V management tools at length. This included tools such as Hyper-V Manager, PowerShell, and Failover Cluster Manager amongst others. In part two, the guys peer into the modern era and the future of virtualization management in the Microsoft space. For example, Windows Admin Center is Microsoft's next generation Windows Server management tool, but how does it stack up to managing Hyper-V? Where does Azure Arc fit in? Are they ready for prime-time? All these questions and more are covered in the episode! Join the webinar How Azure Stack HCI is forcing changes in your datacenter In this episode on Hyper-V management tools for hybrid cloud: Hyper-V management and Windows Admin Center - 0:52 Where does Windows Admin Center work best? - 8:14 What is Azure Arc? - 12:00 Which Hyper-V Management tool should you use and when? - 14:30 Resources for Hyper-V Management Tools Eric's Windows Admin Center eBook Introduction to Windows Admin Center on the DOJO Learn more about Azure Arc on the DOJO IT Pro resources at the DOJO The DOJO Forums Webinar on Azure Stack HCI
When we sat down to record this episode we ended up in a situation like we did with our episode with Ben Armstrong, too much content for one episode!
